Two plates

Perhaps you cannot give much. But as He did with the widow's mite, God notices and rewards, whether what you give is large of small. Our Lord could take five loaves and two fishes and feed 5,000.

A church member once said to himself, "I cannot speak in prayer meeting. I cannot do many other things in Christian services, but I can put two extra plates on my dinner table every Sunday and invite two young men who are away from home to eat with me." He did that for many years. He led many to Christ. When he died some time ago, he was to be buried in another city. Because he was a well-known Christian, a special bus was chartered to convey the funeral party. It was made known that any young people who had become Christians through his influence would be welcomed. They had to charter extra buses, because 150 persons came to honour the man who had preached the Gospel by means of the extra dinner plate.
